Rickey Sipila
I am a solar enthusiast who is a very recent college graduate starting his own solar installation company called Sisu Solar. I love installing solar on people's houses and have been doing it for the last 2 years. If anyone is in need of installing solar at a small scale please reach out and I'd be happy to help! I am also more than willing to help with solar outreach to schools. If you are looking for a guest speaker who has experience in the solar industry, please reach out and I'd love to help.
